A lot of great spooky content dropped for Halloween 2024, didn’t it? Netflix’s docuseries The Manhattan Alien Abduction and the Peacock series Teacup and Hysteria! were the releases I was anticipating most. But a couple of other things snuck up and surprised me, including Netflix’s This Is the Zodiac SpeakingContinue Reading
Technically, The Manhattan Alien Abduction is a good docuseries if you measure it by its binge-ability. It was on my Halloween must-binge list, and I gobbled up all three episodes of the Netflix documentary pretty much in one sitting. (Except for breaks to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.) But it’sContinue Reading
Are there any serial killer cases, whether solved or unsolved, that you’re just done with hearing about at this point? They’ve been analyzed and talked about to death. Can’t we just move on? I feel that way about two cases: Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer case. I wasContinue Reading
My anticipation for Peacock’s new sci-fi horror thriller series, Teacup, was high even before I learned about the Overnightmare event at the Stanley Hotel. Which in part was to promote upcoming Peacock shows like Teacup (as well as Hysteria!) and Blumhouse’s new video game “Fear the Spotlight.” In fact, Hysteria!-inspiredContinue Reading
2024’s Fantastic Fest –one of the largest horror and sci-fi film festivals in the world— offered tons of fantastic premieres, including hits like Terrifier 3 and V/H/S Beyond. But one of the festival’s coolest films was an under-the-radar gem, Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire. Horror fans areContinue Reading
Highbrow cinephiles often snub horror movies as unworthy of their viewing time. Even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which awards the industry’s highest honor, the Oscars, is often accused of bias against horror movies. I get it. Most horror movies equate to nothing more than justContinue Reading
Okay, it’s exciting enough that Netflix released a new volume of Unsolved Mysteries episodes on October 2. But even better, just in time for Haloween, of this season’s four episodes, three examine supernatural mysteries! “Mysterious Mutilations” (episode 3) explores whether humans or extraterrestrials are responsible for cattle mutilations. “The RoswellContinue Reading
“What’s your problem?” The woman sitting across from me didn’t ask it out loud, but that’s exactly what the look she gave me conveyed. “Sorry,” I said sheepishly, hoping she’d forgive my squeak of excitement. I mean, I understood. I was in a doctor’s office, after all. Whether you’re illContinue Reading
The first I heard of Apartment 7A, a prequel to Rosemary’s Baby, was on September 26, the day before it started streaming on Paramount+. It’s haunted me ever since. Why? Well, first of all, how did that miss my radar? Not that I’m a huge fan of Rosemary’s Baby, butContinue Reading
A lot of fans were bummed when The Holzer Files bit the dust. But Discovery Channel may have an antidote. Sort of. They’re rolling out a new series with a similar vibe. Except, instead of ghosts, demons, and hauntings, it’ll explore mysterious creatures. Lost Monster Files premieres Wednesday, October 9Continue Reading
“This didn’t really happen…did it?” I thought as I watched the trailer for The Manhattan Alien Abduction. Funnily enough, that’s the question at the heart of the forthcoming Netflix docuseries. One that becomes abundantly clear while watching the trailer, but that is also summed up in the tagline: “A woman claimsContinue Reading
Which movies pop first to mind when you think of horror movies about Halloween haunted attractions? The Houses October Built? Hell House LLC? Haunt? Those all popped into my mind when I learned of Haunt Season, a forthcoming slasher movie from Epic Pictures’ specialty horror label, DREAD. I agree withContinue Reading
